BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL H. SMrrH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved simplified and compact burner in which the globe can be raised or depressed so as to inclose or expose the flame or other illuminant.

The invention consists in the combination of parts substantially as herein shown and described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawingFigure 1 is a view in elevation of the burner with parts in section showing the same applied to a lantern. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View on the line 00-03 Fig. 3 and Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line y-y Fig. 2.

I11 the views a designates the oil cup or reservoir. The burner proper comprises a chamber 5 having a depressed portion 6 that threads into a threaded opening in the top of the oil cup; a wick tube 7 that is secured in the depressed portion 6 and a spur wheel 8 operated by a shaft 9 to raise and lower the wick. Extending from the bottom of the depressed portion 6 down into the oil cup is a tube or well 10 that is open at its upper end only so that no oil can get into it from the cup.

11 designates a globe holding frame from the lower portion of which extends a rack 12. The rack 12 extends through a hole adjacent the wick tube in the upper wall of the chamber 5 into the tube 10 and in the chamber 5 is a pinion 13 having fixed therein a shaft 141 for turning the same so as to operate the rack in order that the globe holding frame may be raised or lowered.

15 designates the globe which can be of colored glass, if desired.

16 designates an ordinary lantern.

The burner described can be connected with the lantern by any suitable means those shown consisting of spring catches 17 and 18 secured on opposite sides of oil cup. To permit the burner with its wick and globe Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 18, 1911. Serial No. 583,716.

operating shafts to be inserted upward into the lantern the base of the lantern is provided with openings at 19 and 20 of proper form to permit the passage of said members. The shaft 14 is provided with a clamp nut 21 to pinch against the base of the lantern or other part to hold the globe raised where friction alone would not suflice. When this burner is used in connection with a lantern the globe of the lantern can be of clear or white glass and the globe of the burner of red or other colored glass so that the color of the light radiated by the lantern varies from that of the illuminant itself to that of the globe of the burner.
